The love of my family...

This morning, as I woke up from bed with a shock, the first reaction that came to my mind was "shit".

At 0545, a bolt of lightning and a ear shattering clap of thunder woke me from my comfortable and deep sleep. I thought to myself "Shit. How on earth am I supposed to make it to school without getting myself thoroughly drenched? And then I saw a glimpse of hope... You see, every morning, when I wake up, I would look through the kitchen window into my parents' toilet window to see if it's lighted. If it was, that means my dad was already up when i was, and it was bad news (Why? Because it means that he would be ready to leave way before me, and I would not be able to get a lift from him to school. Vice versa. You get the idea...)

And when I looked through the kitchen window as usual again this morning, I saw... that the lghts were...ON. Shit. Double shit. And so, resigned to fate as I was, I proceeeded to brush my teeth and everything, my regular morning routine.

Then i heard their bedroom door creak open. Then the familiar figure who was my dad appeared in the kitchen. "Wah, big wind big rain ah...(in chinese)". Then, with the toothpaste foam in my mouth, I replied "gah ror...Dunno how i go to school later..."

My dad was normally one who would just come to the kitchen for a drink of water, and then leave the house for work with no time to lose. This morning, he walked around a bit, and then he came back into the kitchen, where I was still happily brushing my teeth, and he said "still don't quickly. Too late I cannot wait for you one ah."

Hee hee... With lightning speed, I finished washing my face, got dressed, and left the house.

What is the point of me telling you all these? Because I am now in the office, at 0612 in the morning, with hardly anyone around.. haha. Even the General Office was not opened! (I know what you must be thinking...NONSENSE...)

I know. I am loved by my family. And I am blessed to be surrounded by people who love me so much. Even though my dad smokes. Even if my mum is super blur. Even if I have an almost non-existent brother who has "abandoned" the family for his girlfriend every day of the week. I am still blessed. =)
